Seven unveils star-studded lineup for Australian tour of Sri Lanka and Women’s Ashes Test – Australian tour of Sri Lanka and Women’s Ashes Test live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport
As Australia awaits the next instalment of an epic summer of cricket, the Seven Network has unveiled a star-studded line up for the Australian tour of Sri Lanka and the Women’s Ashes Test, set to air live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport from 3.00pm AEDT Wednesday, 29 January.
Australian cricket fans are in for a treat, with legendary batsman and 7Cricket expert Ricky Ponting leading the network’s Day One coverage of the Australia v Sri Lanka Test, live, free and exclusively on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Joining him on Day One for unrivalled out-of-play analysis will be 7Cricket’s Greg Blewett and Trent Copeland who will then lead Seven’s coverage for the remainder of the Test, before Brad Hodge and Jason Richardson step behind the microphone for the One Day Internationals.
Broadcasting live from Galle and Colombo, Seven’s Simon Katich and Australian cricket journalist, Adam Collins will join a cavalcade of cricket experts from Sri Lanka in the commentary box, while 7NEWS cricket reporter Tom Wilson will present breaking news from inside the stadium throughout the Test.
Following three epic ODIs and T20I matches which saw the Aussies retain the Ashes, the Women’s Ashes series culminates with a four-day pink ball Test at the MCG from Thursday, 30 January, live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Seven’s commentary team will be on-site at the iconic MCG for the final chapter of the series, featuring former Australian Women’s coach Matthew Mott as a key addition to Seven’s expert coverage.
Joining him will be Seven’s commentary team including Emma Freedman, Callum Ferguson, Alister Nicholson, Lisa Sthalekar, Katey Martin and Jason Richardson.
Seven Network Director of Sport, Chris Jones, said:
“We are ecstatic to add the Australia v Sri Lanka Series to our already glittering summer of cricket on Seven and 7plus Sport, making cricket more accessible for all Australians than ever before.
“Ricky Ponting is on deck to get us started on Day One of the first Test in Sri Lanka, alongside experts Greg Blewett and Trent Copeland, who will present the out-of-play coverage for the two Test matches, ensuring that Aussie viewers are treated to the absolute best expert analysis.
“Following an exhilarating Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series, two of the greatest WBBL and BBL seasons in recent history and the excitement of the final instalment of the Women’s Ashes live and free from the MCG from Thursday, the addition of Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka has cemented Seven and 7plus as the undisputed home of cricket,” he said.
“Seven will be there when Steve Smith makes his 10,000th Test run, and our beloved Aussie women’s team win the Ashes. Every ball live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport – it’s going to be massive.”
Seven Network Head of Cricket, Joel Starcevic, said:
“With Steve Smith’s 10,000th run milestone, the return of King Konstas and a highly anticipated debut from Cooper Connolly, the Australian tour of Sri Lanka is set to deliver endless action.
“As the Australian side takes on their final Test before the World Test Championship Final, Seven will be there to deliver every moment to passionate Australian fans at home.
“While the Australian men’s cricket team will continue to captivate the nation, the action doesn’t stop there. Aussie viewers are in for an absolute treat when the Women’s Ashes Series culminates in a historic Test at the MCG,”
– he said.
“In what promises to be a historic and unmissable end to the Ashes, the fierce rivalry between Australia and England on one of the world’s most iconic cricket stages will be on show, with the spirit of cricket at its finest. Unmissable action all week long, right here on Seven and 7plus Sport.”
